First Look at 1970s Charles Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past

Another day, another X-Men: Days of Future Past reveal from director Bryan Singer. This time, it’s a photo of James McAvoy as either a 1970s Charles Xavier or the forgotten member of Led Zepplin, accompanied by the Twitter hashtag “Serpico.”

Opening July 18, 2014 — in 3D, no less — X-Men: Days of Future Past takes its name from the classic 1981 Marvel comics story by Chris Claremont and John Byrne that depicts a dystopian alternate timeline created by the X-Men’s failure to prevent the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from assassinating a U.S. senator. In that future, the giant robotic Sentinels have become the de facto rulers of the United States, where mutants are hunted down and placed in internment camps.
